What appealed to me was the "scientific" approach to putting two people together. The irony of reducing love into an equation is somewhat amusing too. I initally went to EH in August just for the profile - I had no intention of signing up - fill out the survey, get the results & cancel, so I think I managed to be pretty honest in my answers (perhaps one reason I'm getting so few matches). I agree with some of the other reviewers - some people are just not honest with themselves, or potential matches: filling out the survey the way they wished they were, or how they think others would want them to be.

I also agree with the recent review that suggested that you have to know what you want, and stick to it. I wasn't getting any matches, so I monkeyed with one of the settings - I changed "want kids" to maybe. I instantly got 9 matches. The problem is, there's no maybe about it. I don't want kids (I set it back to "no"), and it would seem that EH members want kids. I am amazed that so many people are overwhelmed with matches, when I have reached open communication with just one person (out of 4 "legitimate" matches, only one responded, likely the only subscriber). I'll likely not renew at the end of the month; even if I get another match which doesn't seem likely, 50 bucks seems expensive, especially when that match may not be a subscriber, and able to reply.

It would appear that EH is not for me, but good luck to the rest of you who are using it.
